DESCRIPTION Warning: most of the code you see here isn't normally used nowadays. Beginning with Python 1.6, many of these functions are implemented as methods on the standard string object. They used to be implemented by a built-in module called strop, but strop is now obsolete itself. <quote> Beginning with Python 1.6 </quote> We are now way past 1.6. Are you sure the string module is still being added to?
